There will be one more list for review in the month of October. Due to the volume of Course and Program Proposals, List #3 will be posted next week. All items on List #3 will be included in the 06-08 Catalog. Course and Program Proposals that were submitted by the Septemeber 23 deadline and do not appear on List #2 will be included on List #3

If there are no objections reported to Academic Affairs by noon on October 11, 2005 the Course Change Proposals listed below are approved as submitted. The Curriculum Subcommittee will meet on Tuesday,October 11, 2005, at 1:30 in SAC 275 to review the Course Change Proposals contained in this list.

ART 074 Beginning Jewelry. Description is unchanged. 3 units.
Justification: The word “design” implies more of a two-dimensional approach to the course content. Although students design the work that they create, the emphasis of the course is on the students ability to bring their ideas to a three-dimensional form.

COURSE CHANGE

ART 134 Interdisciplinary Art. Making connections and relationships between visual art and curriculum subjects such as ecology, history, anthropology, language arts, theatre and music. Through studio activities and interdisciplinary themes, learn how to integrate the California Visual Art Content Standards. 3 units.
Justification: The course Interdisciplinary Art, formally approved for addition to the curriculum in AY 2004-05, was assigned a number (132) that had been used for a course removed from our course inventory in 2004 after entering the inactive list (Early Childhood Art). At the CPSP committee meeting, the Chair of the Department of Child Development noted that because ART 132/Early Childhood Art had been listed in their pre-credential program (Major B: Visual/Performing Arts area) until recently, using the same number for a different course could cause problems for their students. The Art Education faculty agreed to change the course number to ART 134. Note: Only the course number is being changed: the course description and prerequisite are the same. Prerequisite: Art 20A (Beginning Drawing) and Upper Division Status

NEW COURSE

ART 163 Pinhole Photography. Intermediate-level course investigating the theory, history, and practice of pinhole photography. Students will work with self-made pinhole cameras of varying focal lengths using black and white and color paper negatives, film negatives, and transparencies. Emphasis will be on applying a creative approach in both camera making and image formation, supported by advanced level photographic technique. The course concludes with individual final portfolios and group exhibitions of cameras and prints. 3 units.
Justification: Change from an experimental to a permanent offering.Note: Offered once a year. Prerequisite: PHOT 40 or equivalent

COURSE CHANGE

ART 174 Intermediate Jewelry . Continued study of the techniques and tools used in metal fabrication, such as raising, tool making, chasing and repousse, and scoring/bending process. Emphasis is on development and individual style. 3 units.
Justification: The present sequence of courses in jewelry design starts with a beginning level and moves directly to the advanced level. After one beginning course, students have not developed the skills nor explored the medium and its historical underpinnings enough to be accurately considered advanced students in the area. An intermediate course would acknowledge students’ actual level of learning while preparing them for an advanced level status. In general, what is now described as the advanced level course content will become the content for the intermediate level. A new course with distinct content will be submitted for the advanced level course (ART 176). This course will also have appeal to other majors that work with design and metal such as Mechanical Engineering.Prerequisite: ART 074 or equivalent, or instructor permission.

NEW COURSE

ART 176. Advanced Jewelry. Focus on the development of personal style in metal fabrication and casting techniques. Students learn to build mechanical devises such as clasp systems that enhance the overall appearance of their work. Research involving historical periods in metal work. 3 units.
Justification: An advanced level course is necessary to acknowledge the skills and knowledge base students have acquired while providing the structure found in previous metals courses. Students practice self-motivation while developing particular skills that support an individual style. An advanced jewelry course would also allow students to work on the content of their work beyond predetermined assignments.Prerequisite: ART 174

COURSE CHANGE

ART 179 Small Metals Studio. Continued study of the techniques and tools used in metal fabrication, such as raising, tool making, chasing and repousse, and scoring/bending process. Emphasis is on development and individual style. 3 units.
Justification: The word “crafts” limits the intent of the course. Small metals more accurately describes the content of the course.Prerequisite: ART 176

Department of Communication Studies

COURSE CHANGE

COMS 158 PR Planning and Management. Description unchanged. 3 units.
Justification: Adding prerequisite of ComS 118 to ComS 158. We are changing the prerequisite to this course because we are changing the prerequisites to related courses to allow students to finish the PR major in 4 semesters.Note: Cross-listed as JOUR 158; only one may be counted for credit. Prerequisite: COMS 118 and COMS 123 or JOUR 123 with grade of "C-" or better.

COURSE CHANGE

COMS187 Issue Management and Case Studies in PR . Description unchanged. 3 units.
Justification: Changing prerequisite from ComS 158 to ComS 118. We are changing the prerequisite to this course because we are changing the prerequisites to related courses to allow students to finish the PR major in 4 semesters.Prerequisite: ComS 118; completion of 12 units of upper division COMS courses

COURSE CHANGE

JOUR 158 PR Planning and Management. Description unchanged. 3 units.
Justification: Adding prerequisite of ComS 118 to Jour 158. We are changing the prerequisite to this course because we are changing the prerequisites to related courses to allow students to finish the PR major in 4 semesters.Note: Cross-listed as COMS 158; only one may be counted for credit. Prerequisite: COMS 118 and JOUR 123 or COMS 123 with grade of "C-" or better.

Department of Design

NEW COURSE

GPHD 122 User Interface Design.The emphasis is on design of a user-centered experience in web space. This course enables the students to understand the characteristics of technology and select appropriate forms and functions to create specific experiences for users. 3 units.Justification: The user interface design in virtual space becomes an essential part of the graphic design curriculum today. A graphic design program needs to meet the current industrial trends and needs. Prerequisite: GPHD25 and 30

COURSE CHANGE

GPHD 130 Typography II. Description unchanged. 3 units.
Justification: Based on NASAD's exit recommendation, we wish to upgrade this course's WTU count from 3.3 to 3.9. The change will allow the instructor to have more contact time with students and bring this course in line with NASAD's studio standards. The course would be re-classified as an Activity (13) to accommodate the WTU adjustment.

COURSE CHANGE

GPHD 135 Design Production and Management. Description unchanged. 3 units.
Justification: Based on NASAD’s exit recommendation, we wish to upgrade this course’s WTU count from 3.3 to 3.9. The change will allow the instructor to have more contact time with students and bring this course in line with NASAD’s studio standards. The course would be re-classified as an Activity (13) to accommodate the WTU adjustment.

COURSE CHANGE

GPHD 140 Time-Based Graphic Design. Emphasis on the development of conceptual themes, formal exploration, and user-centered interaction in time-based multimedia design. Enables the students to create vital experiences using text, sound, image, motion, and interactivity. 3 units.
Justification: The technology-based design becomes an essential part of the graphic design curriculum today. A graphic design program needs to meet the current industrial trends and needs.Prerequisite: GPHD130, 135

NEW COURSE

GPHD 142 Advanced Graphic Design I. Builds on established design investigation and project management techniques and provides students with the opportunity to focus on process in design. Theoretical, professional and historical issues facing the design profession will be reviewed. Development of both visual and written research material will be applied to an appropriate project. Presentations skills will also be addressed. 3 units.Justification: Majors will benefit from this course as it will more fully develop their research skills and give them context in which to apply it. The course will focus on one subject the entire semester, so the depth of research, process and management conducted on the project will be extensive. Unit-wise this course will replace ART 20B in the current curriculum.Prerequisite: GPHD130, 135

COURSE CHANGE

GPHD 145 Visual Image. Advanced exploration of visual study. Students will learn to orchestrate a diverse yet unified visual campaign for a particular client. Image making will be stressed in this course as students experiment with techniques and media including but not limited to photography and illustration. 3 units.
Justification: GPHD 145 was previously organized as a visual principles course (formerly GPHD 101) for students just entering upper division. With the past re-ordering of upper division courses and the creation of two preparatory lower division courses (viz., GPHD 25 and GPHD 30), we are finding that our students are more prepared than before and can handle a more advanced curriculum in their senior semester of GPHD 145. The program also sees a deficiency in students’ image-making abilities. This course would address this deficiency to more fully round out our students’ design education.Prerequisite: GPHD130, 135 Corequisite: GPHD 140

COURSE CHANGE

GPHD 150 Digital Portfolio. Description unchanged. 3 units.
Justification: Based on NASAD's exit recommendation, we wish to upgrade this course's WTU count from 3.3 to 3.9. The change will allow the instructor to have more contact time with students and bring this course in line with NASAD's studio standards. The course would be re-classified as an Activity (13) to accommodate the WTU adjustment.

NEW COURSE

GPHD 152 Advanced Graphic Design II. The course builds on established design investigation, process and project management techniques and provides students with the opportunity to focus on expanding their understanding of professional practice. Professional, business and ethical issues facing the design profession will be reviewed. Development of both visual and written material will be required in a group environment that will be applied to an appropriate series of projects. These projects will require oral and visual presentations. 3 units.Justification: Majors will benefit from this course as it will more fully develop their professional skills and give them context in which to apply it. The course addresses practical, business and ethical issues facing the design profession. Unit-wise this required course will replace an elective in the major. Prerequisite: GPHD140, 145

COURSE CHANGE

GPHD 155 Corporate Identity . Description unchanged. 3 units.
Justification: Based on NASAD's exit recommendation, we wish to upgrade this course's WTU count from 3.3 to 3.9. The change will allow the instructor to have more contact time with students and bring this course in line with NASAD's studio standards. The course would be re-classified as an Activity (13) to accommodate the WTU adjustment.

INTD 15 Introduction to Interior Design . (Formerly INTD 21) Introduction to the field of interior design. Consideration of human factors, aesthetics, design process, furnishings, surface treatments, and current issues. Lecture, discussions, field trips, two hours. 3 units.
Justification: Introduction to Interior Design is the first interior design-specific lecture class within the major curriculum. As the profession has grown and matured, the requisite body of knowledge students must know has dramatically increased. New topics include discussions of new licensing requirements, new professional opportunities that did not exist until recently, and content that discusses the expanding role of technology. Though it has been a two-hour course for many semesters, students have been necessarily assigned and have attended to more work than a two-hour credit course requires. This hour adjustment from two to three hours will correct this inequity. The course number change will eliminate confusion about the nature of the class, since the “21” designation is used campus-wide for Freshman Seminars. This class is not a Freshman Seminar

NEW COURSE

INTD 25 Design Fundamentals. Introduction to designing interior spaces. Emphasis on the manipulation and understanding of two- and three-dimensional manipulation of elements of interior spatial design. Fundamentals of visual communication strategies. Studio activity six hours. 3 units.
Justification: Design Fundamentals provides an introduction to the basic elements interior designers use when creating spaces for clients. The course will 1) give interior design students the skills they need to take upper division interior design studios and 2) provide graphic design students with an understanding of space making, which will give them a better understanding of how environmental graphics (signage, exhibition design, etc.) interact with interior space. The course will also give interior design students the opportunity to develop a portfolio of projects that they will need to apply for the upper division major. (Interior Design will be officially impacted in Fall 2006, and students will then have to submit a portfolio for entrance to the major.)
In addition to designing interior spaces, students will be introduced to the visual communication skills crucial to the design professions and will develop an appreciation for the increasingly high standards of craft, the interior design process, and the marriage of aesthetics and function. The current curriculum structure addresses these needs only partially, and too late in the sequence. This course also supports the FIDER accreditation body’s requirement for students’ rapid interior design visualization and architectural sketching skills development.

COURSE CHANGE

INTD 30 Introduction to Computer Aided Design. Introduction to the principles and techniques of architectural drafting. Through a series of exercises, students will learn manual and digital drafting techniques commonly used to generate floor plans, sections, elevations, and axonometrics. Through a series of design problems, students will also be introduced to basic space planning concepts and vocabulary. Emphasis will be on drawing skills, drawing conventions, CAD vocabulary, and CAD document management procedures. 3 units.
Justification: New course description more accurately reflects actual course content.Prerequisite: DESN10.

COURSE CHANGE

INTD 123 Survey of Western Architecture and Interiors. Description unchanged. 3 units.
Justification: The name change more accurately reflects course content. Specifically, the course covers both architecture and interiors.

INTD 153 Interior Design Studio I. (Formerly INTD 27) An introductory studio course with emphasis on understanding functional and formal elements of architectural interiors. Students will communicate designs through two- and three dimensional drawings and models. 3 units.
Justification: In the last four years Beginning Design and Construction has advanced not only in content amount but also in the level of complexity. This is reflected by the current inability of local community colleges to articulate this course. In addition, the change creates a four-studio upper division sequence responding to a specific request by the FIDER team (see program proposal) to create a clear progression within our upper division design studio sequence.Note: Studio activity six hours.
Prerequisite: INTD25, INTD30 and acceptance into Interior Design Major Corequisite: INTD 151 and INTD 155

INTD 163 Interior Design Studio II. (Formerly INTD 126A) An intermediate studio course where students continue to develop their understanding of functional and formal elements of architectural interiors. Students will communicate designs through two- and three dimensional drawings and models. 3 units.
Justification:The new course number and title will clearly identify the course within the revised sequence of design studio courses. The revised course description more accurately reflects actual course content. Prerequisite changes and the addition of corequisite requirements reflect the overall restructure of the upper division course sequence. Prerequisite: INTD 151, 153 and 155Corequisite: INTD 161 and 165

INTD 173 Interior Design Studio III. (Formerly INTD 126B) An advanced studio course where students continue to develop their understanding of functional and formal elements of architectural interiors. Students will communicate designs through two- and three dimensional drawings and models. 3 units.
Justification: The new course number and title will clearly identify the course within the revised sequence of design studio courses. The revised course description more accurately reflects actual course content. Prerequisite changes and the addition of corequisite requirements reflect the overall restructure of the upper division course sequence. Prerequisite: INTD 161, 163 and 165 Corequisite: INTD 171 and 175

INTD 181 Interior Design Graphics IV. (Formerly INTD 129) Description unchanged. Changing from 2 to 3 units.
Justification: Design Portfolio is the capstone upper division studio class within the major curriculum. This class serves as the final stage of studio preparation for entrance into professional practice. Graduates are expected to show a comprehensive portfolio of their achievements in studio arts. Though it has been a two-hour course for many semesters, students have been necessarily assigned and have attended to more work than a two-hour credit course requires. This hour adjustment from two to three hours will correct this inequity.
The new course number and title will clearly identify the course within the revised sequence of design studio courses. Prerequisite changes and the addition of co requisite requirements reflect the overall restructure of the upper division course sequence. Prerequisite: INTD 171, INTD 173 and INTD 175Corequisite: INTD 183

NEW COURSE

INTD 183 Interior Design Studio IV. This is a thesis studio in which students research and develop individual design projects. Students will draw upon knowledge and skills from previous coursework to create solutions to complex design problems. Projects are completed with assistance from instructor, client and working professionals. Students are required to submit a design proposal for instructor approval in the Fall. 3 units.
Justification: The Interior Design Program is changing its course structure in order to provide our students with more professional-level studios. This change is in response to suggestions from our advisory board, and to recommendations the FIDER accreditation team stipulated in their Site Visitor’s Report last fall. FIDER, the Foundation for Interior Design Education and Research, is our professional accrediting agency. Specifically, the FIDER team asked us to create a sequence of upper division studios that provides a clear progression in the scale and complexity of projects. We have achieved this by enhancing a lower division studio course (formerly INTD 27) and moving it into upper division, revising the two existing upper division studio course (INTD 126A and INTD 126B) and by introducing a senior thesis studio as a capstone studio course. Prerequisite: INTD 171, 173 and 175.Corequisite: INTD 181.

PHOT 11 Digital Imaging. Acquaints students with digital equipment and techniques as applied to photographs. Lectures and demonstrations will cover hardware (cameras, computers, scanners and printers) and software used to create digital images. Ethical and legal issues will be discussed. Portfolio of digital photographs created in the computer labe required. 3 units.
Justification: In order to meet the requirements of the new lower division transfer pattern for community college students Photo 100 is being converted to lower division and becoming Photo 11. This will allow students to complete this course at a community college.

Department of History

NEW COURSE

HIST 123 The Crusades. The Crusading movement from the eleventh through the thirteenth centuries. Explores the eight “official” Crusades, and explores the concept of “crusading” as Christian Holy War. The course extensively covers the intersection of Byzantine, Islamic, Catholic, and Jewish cultures in the Middle Ages, and incorporates religious, social, military, and political, history. 3 units.
Justification: The Crusades of the eleventh through thirteenth centuries were the most significant encounter between cultures in the Middle Ages. The Crusades brought together, sometimes but not always violently, Christians (Catholic, Byzantine, Armenian, and Coptic), Muslims (in both the Middle East and in Iberia), and Jews (in Europe, the Byzantine Empire, and Palestine). Students will read extensively on the eight main Crusades as well as later attempted and proposed Crusades. The concept of “crusading” will also be discussed in detail, in reference to the Middle Ages in particular, but also in reference to early modern and contemporary uses of the term “crusade.” The course will follow a chronological outline of the major Crusades, and incorporate political, cultural, economic, military technology, religious, and social history. The course is designed to fit into the Hellenic Studies Minor and the Middle East and Islamic Studies Minor, in addition to the History department as a whole. Students will read extensively in the current Crusade historiography and primary sources, as well as exploring contemporary views of the Crusades through film, and ultimately students will write a long research paper.

NEW COURSE

HIST 149 The Making of Modern Southeast Asia . Examines the historical formation of Southeast Asia, how European colonization integrated Southeast Asia into the global economic order, and how the region became a critical strategic zone in the Second World War and the Cold War. While the course traces the century’s long formation of the nations of Southeast Asia, about half of the course will focus on political and economic developments of the 20th Century. 3 units.
Justification: Southeast Asia has played a crucial role in Asian and World history. As a source of spices and raw materials, as the site of numerous “hot battles” of the Cold War, and as the home to several terrorist organizations, Southeast Asia’s economic, strategic, and political significance is undeniable. Unfortunately, many American students remain unfamiliar with the region; an especially ironic situation in California with its growing Southeast Asia population. With special attention to Southeast Asia’s role in the modern world, this course will rectify this lack of knowledge. In addition to Southeast Asia’s role in the 20th Century, the course will familiarize students with the region’s impressive past civilizations in Cambodia, Java, and Sumatra, home to some of the man-made wonder’s of the earth like Angkor Wat and Borobudur. This course will significantly add to the History Dept.’s Asia offerings, as well as meet the needs of many students interested in Southeast Asia’s past.

NEW COURSE

HIST 175 Sex, Population, and Birth Control in America. Explores efforts to control reproduction in America in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. Examines the medical and legal institutions that shaped public policy and the general public’s response to efforts to regulate citizens’ reproduction, sexuality, and healthcare.Investigates how race, ethnicity, class, and gender determined the types of reproductive choices available to Americans. 3 units.
Justification: “Sex, Population, and Birth Control in America” intersects three major subfields in American history: the history of the law and public policy, the history of medicine, and the history of gender. Most upper-division history classes taught at CSUS and other universities focus on one specific subfield of history. This approach is useful in grounding students in these subfields; however, as practicing scholars know, the boundaries between subfields are permeable and overlap between subfields is quite common. “Sex, Population, and Birth Control in America” therefore is novel in teaching students to think across subfields. This course compliments two existing courses currently offered by the history department: HIST180 American Legal History, and HIST167 American women’s history. It also adds new depth to the course listings. HIST167 touches on issues of reproduction and sexuality but it does so primarily from the perspective of women. This proposed course will expand this analysis to include male experiences as well as female and will ask students to compare the effects of reproductive policy and medical practice on men and women. Thus, HIST175 will also introduce students to many central issues debated within this subfield of the history of medicine. Finally, race and ethnicity are central themes of this course. As such, “Sex, Population, and Birth Control in America” will complement existing history courses such as African American history and the South, Slavery, and the American Nation.

NEW COURSE

HIST 188 American Labor History. Survey of the history of working people in the United States from the colonial period to the present. Topics include labor systems from slavery to wage work, strategies of labor organizations, race and labor, radicalism and reform, immigration and labor, labor and leisure, women and work, and globalization. 3 units.
Justification: This course, American Labor History, is an important addition to our curriculum for two reasons: 1) it complements our offering of Hist 164 (History of American Capitalism) which covers the history of business and the role of the corporation in American life and 2) it will be an integral offering in the Labor Studies Program at Sacramento State. The course will provide students with an in-depth examination of the lives and working condition of American laborers. We expect that students will be engaged and responsive to the course material as they will be forced to reflect on the working conditions of their own jobs (past, current or future). Since Americans spend most of their waking hours working, a course that puts daily working life in historical perspective will be particularly meaningful to students.

COURSE CHANGE

HIST 192A Seminar in Recent Interpretations of U.S. History. Reading seminar in recent scholarship and current trends in the interpretation of United States history. Designed especially for History majors and present and prospective history teachers. 3 units.
